space topics.  He lives with his wife in Paradise Valley, AZ.  He was 
commissioned by NASA to document the Apollo program; created a huge mural in 
the entrance hall of the National Aviation and Space Museum in Washington, DC;

Odyssey".  He illustrated a book, "Our World In Space", with Isaac Asimov.  He 
is also known for his illustrations of "floating cities" or space platforms.  
There have been several projects involving negotiations for a local museum
